I just installed older vid drivers and it does the same thing still.. also when my comp freezes up, once it's unfrozen and my monitors come out of stand by, all of the brightness etc settings in DP I have changed go back to default.

those ss's are trippy though. especially that 2nd one

That error message was in windows, from my ATI Catalyst manager thing. That wasn't an error in DP.

His comp specs:
AMD dualcore 2.0ghz
1.5gb ram
ATi radeon x800
some 'Leadtek winfast' motherboard
I think I see the problem.
ATI drivers suck, and from what I've gathered in some of the recent posts, they suck even more so on Vista. I don't know that there's anything I can do to help. If he's getting VPU recover errors, it's purely driver and/or hardware related. There's nothing (or if the drivers are programmed correctly, there should be nothing) an application can do to cause that.

It was on XP. I have no problems playing on vista other then the 540 spins my mouse does because there's no mouse fix.

did you install drivers for XP and Vista or just one? You need to install the drivers for XP if you didnt...
i have dual monitors except my 2nd monitor is my 25" TV and ive never experienced a problem, granite im using nvidia and windows 2003..
in them screen shots, the aura effect reminds me of quake2 if you turn gl_modulate to 9999 the lighting always looks awful

I got this problem too (i got a radeon 9800 pro) Try to install Omegadrivers, set the AGP speed to 2x or 4x. I got mine fixed that way. It's a ATI specific problem, if you get the VPUrecovery error everytime. But i'm not quite sure, whether omegadrivers support dual screen nowadays
EDIT: http://www.omegadrivers.net/ati/win2k_xp.php
EDIT2: The problem seems to be individual. One of my friends got a similar VPUrecoveryproblem with his 9600, another with a x800 or something never heard of that error.

I cleaned off my video card and it seems to be fine now. I doubt it will last very long though. There was barely any dust on it so I don't even know how it had an effect, but it seems to have had one.

I doubt that was the issue but if it fixed it that's good for now. But I would still try to get new drivers so that it won't happen again.

It might have been overheating. I had to reseat my heatsink to fix my 9700pro. Even then, it still had issues, but it worked a little better.

-off topic-
This about the windows vista bugs:
The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners.
